Warner: There are 'credible components' to report that foreign governments offered to aid Trump campaign in 2016

BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 05/20/18 11:15 AM EDT

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said on Sunday that there are credible parts of a recent report saying foreign governments, besides Russia, offered to help President Trump's campaign in 2016.

Warner said The New York Times report contained "credible components" detailing attempts from other governments, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates offering to help the Trump campaign.

The senator, who serves as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, went on to say the committee would look into the report.

Warner's comments come after The Times reported that the president's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. met with an emissary from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, George Nader, who said the countries wanted Trump to win the election.

UPDATE

Warner: Why doesn't Trump understand that it's illegal for other countries to interfere in US elections?

BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 05/20/18 11:39 AM EDT

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said on Sunday that he doesn’t understand why President Trump doesn’t realize that it’s illegal for a foreign nation interfere in U.S. elections.

Warner during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" weighed in on a New York Times report that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Gulf emissary during the 2016 campaign who offered the help of the crown princes of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to have his father win the election

“If the Times story is true, we now have at least a second and maybe a third nation that was trying to lean into this campaign,” Warner said.

1. OMG, why is Israel being left off the list?

i saw a part of a segment today on MSNBC where someone representing the Israeli viewpoint was on and said so what if Israel offerred drumpf help. He said they would have used an American citizen to pay the money to circumvent the laws and hire the hackers or ad folks. That is still illegal if Israel repays them or orders this and why isn't that being mentioned? It seemed absolutely breathtaking to me.

2. Sadly, Israel seems to be allowed to break all the rules.

We have top politicians in the democratic party siding with the move of our consulate to Jerusalem. As I understand it, this area is important to all the great religions and why on earth would any democrat support allowing such a move. We can expect very little from the GOP/

The optics of the celebrations, which included guests representing our corrupt leader, continued while Israel, in cold blood, murders and injures many hundreds of the protesters. All that was missing was Madame Defarge to watch over the slaughter.

6. They are all tip-toeing around the more accurate way to say it....Trump's candidacy and

his presidency have been for sale for years.

You would expect nothing different from any of the world's oligarch's, mobsters, and billionaire sociopathic narcissists if they were put in position of power. They spend their entire lives trying to cheat, scam, deal, bribe, blackmail, threaten, and bluff their way to the front of the line and when they see a chance at even more power and wealth it's obvious what they'll do.

But...he says he can't be bought???
